Kiwi Can

This Week for Kiwi Can our theme is Respect. We talked about what value we had at school, our school value is CARE, C is Confidence, A is Attitude, R is Respect and E is Excellent and Inactivation. We also talked bot rules, why we need it and how it helps. We also played a game were theirs two teams, and they had to convince the person that's listening to decide if we should, or shouldn't have that rule. I really enjoyed Kiwi Can This week, and on the Weekend I'm going to show respect to the people around me.

Why is sleep important? Well, Group A have the answer to that. Together our group created a presentation that gives a clear explanation on why sleep is so important. The questions inside include: How long do humans need to sleep, why sleeping is healthy and how technology or devices could affect our sleeping patterns. 

HIIT Training

Today we did HITT (High Intense Interval Training) this training program is based on increasing our heart rate by Pau te hau which means getting puffed. The 4 rotations we did are high knee sprints, tap steps, mountain climbers, fast star jumps. For these rotations we did the 4 sets. Then we had 20 seconds for each rotation which gave us an extra 20 seconds for a little brake to regain our energy.

Kiwi Can - Reflection

This term our topic for Kiwi Can was Integrity and our theme was accountability. Integrity is doing the right thing when no one's looking. Accountability is being responsible for your own actions, and owning up to your own mistakes and managing yourself. You could be Accountability by showing up on time for Teach, or showing up to practice with the gear you need. We did a activity called 2 truth 1 lie, We had to tell 1 lie and 2 truth, your class mats had to figure which one was a lie. (eg I have never broken a charger before, although I have crack my Chromebook screen just once, and I take my Chromebook home, so which one is a lie?

We noticed that the jobs people did back then were a lot more physical than many of the jobs we do today because they didn't have the technology we do to help them.

My first ever flight

My first ever flight

I lived at the end of the wood with my family. As the sun went down and the moon slowly watched over us my family woke up. One night I said to myself “Tonight's the night of my first flight!” I felt nervous and scared but suddenly I had the feeling that I could do it. The wind dashed behind me but luckily my talons kept me from flying away. I lifted one leg and was quivering, but I still focused on my meal, so I let my wings feel freedom. “I’m ready to fly,” I whispered to myself but my family heard me so they came to cheer me on. I was ready to launch, so I leap off the edge. I was scared because I thought I was going to fall, when I suddenly realized I was flying with the wind. I imagine all the time I’ve wanted to fly and this was the chance. I heard cheering around me and it motivated me to keep going. I saw my parents and sibling smiling. I felt proud of myself because it was my first ever flight. “Yes I’m flying.” I murmured to myself. I spread my wings like an airplane. I feel the strong gush of the night air pass my face and try to stay strong. I flapped my wings to gain speed and veered around in circles feeling happy of myself. What was supposed to be a boring flight had just gone a whole lot more better! Suddenly out of nowhere I hear my stomach crying for food. So I let out examining for my favorite snack. “Slimy, wet worms”. I whispered to myself.

This term my group were focusing on writing narratives. We wrote a narrative about our first ever flight. I started off with a struggle but then I had help from my teacher. I tried to use more advanced word for example instead of using look I wrote examine. I think next time I need to write more information in my narratives .I enjoyed writing this narrative and hope to write another narrative.

This is why we need a Skeletal System

Today for inquiry we created a Gif about the skeletal systems. We used EzGif to to create this Gif. We used Play-Doh and toothpick to create a human figure to show you what it looks like without bones and with bones. The toothpick stands for the "skeleton" on the human clay. We learnt that there are 300 bones for new borns and 206 for adults. The reason why we created this Gif was to show you why we need the skeletal system and how important our framework of bones are. 

Math Body Measurement
